There's plenty of Tolkien discussion on Usenet (Google groups), but a
lot of it is by people whose obsession with canon (including not just
the Silmarillion but the Lost Tales and everything Tolkien ever wrote)
makes ours in the main HP group look like child's play. I occasionally
read those discussions but would never contribute because I don't want
some fanatic jumping down my throat. No doubt there are Yahoo! groups
for Tolkien fans (maybe some devoted specifically to LOTR) but I've
never searched for them. I'm not sure what you mean about using the
search button. Do you mean for this list? If so, I think you'd have
better luck on the Yahoo! groups homepage:
